Alien: The new one is brighter that Tahal, or any of his brothers in
the sky. What does he want from us?
Shaman: To answer that, we must learn the nature of this god. We must understand the reason for his arrival. You were making an offering to Tahal. |
 |
Alien: I placed the firefruit on his altar, then the ground shook.
I looked up and the new one was there.
Shaman: The firefruit. Where is it? |
 |
Shaman: The new one doesn't want Tahal to have the firefruit. Make an altar for him. As big as Tahal's. The firefruit is only for the new one. No more for the people. It is his alone. Groundshaker, Lightbringer, take this today yet every day. Accept our offering. Do not harm us. |

Janeway: Report.
Tuvok: We are in sincronous orbit. 57.000 kilometers above the planet's equator. Chakotay: Good work, Tom. Now let's see... |
 |
Paris: You're patting the wrong guy in the back.
Janeway: Explain. Paris: Our thrusters went off-line halfway through descent. Then we just stopped like we were (...) or something. |
 |
Tuvok: I'm picking a strong tachyon field along the hull. It could
be what's holding us.
Seven: Seven of Nine to the bridge. Janeway: Go ahead, Seven. |
 |
Seven: Please report to Astrometrics. There's something you must see.
Janeway: On my way. Chakotay. |
 |
Seven: This planet has a tachyon core. It produces subspace particle
field which runs between the poles. Voyager's arrival disrupted that field.
Chakotay: It looks that the ship's been caught in an (...) of some kind. |
 |
Janeway: It's worse than that. Voyager seems to have become the planet's
third pole.
Seven: The imbalance is affecting the outer (crust). I picked up indications of high-frequency seismic activity. Chakotay: Caused by our presence? Seven: Possibly. |
 |
Janeway: Does anyone live down there?
Seven: The atmosfere's having a scattering effect on our sensors. Chakotay: Is that vegetation? Seven: According to sensors, yes. |
 |
Janeway: The tachyon core has created a space-time differential between
the planet and the surrounding space. We are watching the seasons change
in a matter of seconds.
Seven: For each second that passes on Voyager nearly a day goes by on the planet. |
 |
Janeway: Scan for inhabitants.
Seven: I can't isolate individual life-forms. It will take time for the space-time differential. Chakotay: A couple of hundred years, maybe? If our orbit starts to decay, Voyager will be (interfere) the effects of the differential, and we'll begin aging hundreds of times faster than we would in normal space. |
 |
Janeway: Unless we wanna live our lives in the blink of an eye, I suggest we find a way out of here. |
